Becks is a tiny settlement on State Highway 85 in the Manuherikia valley of Central Otago, sitting almost exactly on the 45th parallel, halfway between the equator and the South Pole. It grew around the White Horse Hotel, built in mud brick in 1864 by John Nixon Beck as a Cobb and Co coaching stop, and the township took the publican's name after first being called White Horse. The original hotel was saved by a local historical society in 1990 and still stands across the road from its 1925 successor, a small monument to the coaching age on the Maniototo run.
